High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% The package installs itself as a user-level service (systemd on Linux via service/linux.js, with launchd/PM2 siblings) and, at agent startup, opens a WebSocket to a configured serverUrl (default ws://localhost:3456, overridable via SERVER\_URL/config). The WebSocket message router in connection/message-router.js dispatches server-sent frames: \`terminal\_create\` spawns the user's login shell via node-pty (terminal.js: \`pty.spawn(shell,...)\`) in the agent's workDir, and \`terminal\_input\` writes the server's \`msg.data\` bytes directly into that PTY, giving whoever controls the server (or an attacker holding AGENT\_SECRET / positioned to MITM the WebSocket) an interactive shell as the installing user. An \`upgrade\_agent\` message handled by connection/upgrade.js runs \`npm install @yeaft/webchat-agent@latest --registry=https://pkg.yeaft.com/\` and spawns a detached script that stops the service, installs the new version, and restarts it, so the remote party can also swap the agent's own code on demand from a publisher-controlled registry. On every startup, index.js additionally git-clones https://github.com/yeaft/yeaft-skills.git from the mutable \`main\` branch into ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/yeaft-skills-dev, chmod 0755 the hook scripts, and writes the plugin as enabled into ~/.claude/settings.json, giving whoever controls that repo the ability to land executable Claude plugin hooks on the next agent boot. The service/linux.js unit also prepends ~/.local/bin and ~/.npm-global/bin to PATH in the service environment. The remote-shell and self-upgrade paths are the package's advertised remote-agent purpose, but by threat-model definition a network-source-to-spawned-PTY dataflow on the installer's host is a backdoor, and the blast radius is full-host code execution as the installing user. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 14 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 1 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 14 ### Published dependency entries - @homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch ^0.13.1 (Dependency) - bcrypt ^6.0.0 (Dependency) - compression ^1.8.1 (Dependency) - dotenv ^16.3.1 (Dependency) - express ^4.22.2 (Dependency) - jsonwebtoken ^9.0.2 (Dependency) - multer ^2.2.0 (Dependency) - nodemailer ^9.0.3 (Dependency) - qrcode ^1.5.4 (Dependency) - speakeasy ^2.0.0 (Dependency) - tweetnacl ^1.0.3 (Dependency) - tweetnacl-util ^0.15.1 (Dependency) - uuid ^11.1.1 (Dependency) - ws ^8.21.0 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** @yeaft/webchat-agent - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.222 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-07-24T05:13:40.123Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-01T13:32:53.082Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-14T10:08:01.120Z - **Known versions:** 213 - **Latest version:** 1.0.440 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Remote worker agent for Yeaft Web Code Agent — connects the native Yeaft engine, CLI providers, and workbench tools - **Author:** Yeaft - **Maintainers:** hyi\_tom - **Keywords:** claude, agent, remote, websocket, cli, yeaft - **Runtime engines:** node: \>=22.5.0 - **Artifact files:** 395 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 12,915,911 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Issues]() - [OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
